Gus and the immatue, smug, thoughtless, obnoxious Shawn stumble into the very small town of Dual Spires in this wonderful 'Twin Peaks' homage. Gus and Shawn have to figure out who killed Paula Merral while dealing with the weird locals.
It guest stars such former 'Twin Peaks' alum as Dana Andrews (old and his acting still hasn't improved since 1990), Robyn Lively (she was in 'Twin Peaks'? I only recall her in 'Savannah'), Sheryl Lee, Sherilyn Fenn, Lenny Von Dohlen (seriously who?), the Log Lady and Ray Wise.
This had some funny moments: the owl and Log Lady moments had me laughing out loud. Naturally this town has a dark secret or two. This was good.
